277"Grug!" Bluepeac.o.c.k vomited a mouthful of blood once again. However, this time, it was worse as he almost coughed out his lungs. He even supported himself in all fours because if not, he would lie down face first due to weakness.
That attack was critical and it injured him gravely. Though the attack didn"t reach his heart, a vital blood vein did. He didn"t expect that he would experience such things as this right now.
"s.h.i.+t…" Now, even breathing was getting hard for him as he tried to catch his breath and in order to stabilize himself. He couldn"t help but curse under his breath as he saw this situation he was in.
"Say, you said something about Dreamland Emperor, right?" Owner Bu spoke with a ice-cold tone, "You said something about him being in the afterlife, so what is that about?"
Dreamland Emperor was a genius Fate Emperor and a best friend that had been guided and protected Owner Bu when they were young. Many were wondering how could a mere immortal emperor survive there and successfully descended? There, Dreamland was the reason.
Dreamland was like a dao protector in a sense for Owner Bu. And Owner Bu had a very big amount of debt to Dreamland that he knew he wouldn"t be capable of repaying even after many lifetimes.
Dreamland was also the one that Bluepeac.o.c.k"s talking about who "stole" the World Treasure from their constellation.
"That"s right… Cough! Cough!" Bluepeac.o.c.k wanted to shout but he spat two mouthfuls of blood again, he wiped the left blood beside his lips and continued, "Dreamland Emperor was sentenced to death! Do you think that after what he did, he would be forgiven? Nonsense!"
"I already expected it from the start." Owner Bu answered with a solemn expression. Indeed, he was already expecting this. After all, it was a long time now since he saw Dreamland Emperor. In fact, Dreamland Emperor had already a.s.sumed this, that"s why he used all of his reserved resources and helped Owner Bu to escape this incoming death and bore everything.
Owner Bu couldn"t help but clench his fist. Though he knew that his friend was already dead, he still held on to the little possibility that Dreamland Emperor was still, perhaps, alive. Owner Bu wanted to believe that he was all wrong about this. But reality was cruel, as it slapped him right into his face.
Now, the only memento Owner Bu had was Dreamland Emperor"s prized treasure, the World-Destroying Sword.
While Owner Bu was in a dazed state, Bluepeac.o.c.k was acc.u.mulating enough qi to open a teleportation portal and escape. He wasn"t willing to die here. He had yet to reach the apex of this world, the Ethereal. Thus, he was not planning on dying here. He was too young and talented for that. The acc.u.mulating process was slow because of his injuries but he could manage.
"Time to end this." However, as if Owner Bu sensed this, he shot a glare filled with killing intent to Bluepeac.o.c.k and said, "You think you can escape? It"s now time for you to die."
"Boom!" Suddenly, Bluepeac.o.c.k exploded and his blood and bit organs splashed in all directions. He died without knowing how. He didn"t even have the luxury to defend himself first before this.
The stab from the World-Destroying Sword a while ago wasn"t really meant to kill Bluepeac.o.c.k. It was to plant a detonating bomb of qi inside his body. With this, even Bluepeac.o.c.k had successfully escaped, with the bomb in his body, he would still die. After all, even without the trigger, the bomb would explode itself after an hour.
Bluepeac.o.c.k was checkmated from that moment. And thus, a Destiny had fallen. And it was Owner Bu"s victory.
"Grug!" Owner Bu vomited blood once again. He had already used too much qi and even his reserved was about to be depleted. This wasn"t a good sign for him. He needed to take a rest and stabilize himself first if he wanted to continue to fight.
However, time wasn"t on his side as enemies approached just after Bluepeac.o.c.k Destiny died. It seemed that Bluepeac.o.c.k had sent a help signal just before he exploded.
"You killed one of our Destinies… how capable of you, b.a.s.t.a.r.d Bu." Soon, three figures emerged from the void. The voice was filled with murderous intent, as if it was filled with wrath and hatred.
"!" Owner Bu sensed this incoming danger as he backed off, with eyes widened in surprise, "Two Destinies and an Ancient have appeared!"
Who would have thought that Black Star Constellation would dispatch their very core members just to stop Owner Bu?
"I never thought that out of all people in this world who hated us, it will be the ant who ran away back home." Trueblack Ancient coldly laughed and said, "You even killed so many strong members of our constellation, even a Destiny! You have gotten stronger, Bu."
"The mighty Trueblack Ancient of Black Star is also dispatched here just to kill me?" Owner Bu mocked and smirked, "I am feeling so honored. I also never thought of getting the higher-ups" attention."
"You are indeed capable, because you managed to be a threat to us. Thus, you really should feel honored." Trueblack Ancient seriously said.
Truth be told, he was very surprised when he learned that it was Owner Bu who was wreaking havoc in their place, killing those who block him. Never in his wildest dreams would he think that Owner Bu being this strong. After all, he looked down at this too much in the past. But now, with only a power of a Heavenly Saint, he still managed to kill many of them and killed even one of their Destinies. Not to mention that, the Destiny that was told to be the future Ethereal of their constellation!
This was a big loss to them. A grave loss that wouldn"t be compensated even millions of Owner Bu traded his life. Grooming a talent like that wasn"t easy and it required an ample amount of resources.
And now, they were gritting their teeth in frustration. They shouldn"t have let Owner Bu off in the past.
